In fact there was over 400 Holcombes that fought for the north

I know, I married the descendant of one..lol..You know I've been wondering where Sally got to myself, looked for her and MoFed to go head to head :-) ... now those Hoelcombe Indians we found would be your fellow rebs. Probably part of Thomas' Legion I guess. I recently found out that one of my Quaker relatives who stayed in the South, split the church and was in one of the white groups of Thomas' troops...Walker's battlion, I think it was. Happens in the best of families.

Ya ever notice Cuz, we Yanks don't write as much as you Rebs...could be we 1) don't have the knowledge you do or 2) we ain't as long winded...lol, lol.

Let me know if I can help out on those Indidan Hawkums, Hoelcombs, Holcombs, later cuz. By the way what part of Alabama you from...some Yankee territory down there around Winston County...I read the book Southerners in Blue by Don Umphries.
